Date: 11/4/09 1:19 PM Yes, but it looks like there are some pretty nice clothes in here -- wonder what that purple skirt will be like.
And here's something for the people who have been saying there are never any patterns for pre-teen kids.....

Date: 11/4/09 1:56 PM You know, I've been saying this because it's true. They haven't had any pre-teen patterns in years. And their enveloppe patterns for that age group are really very few. The thing about pre-teens is they like to follow fashion, so you need patterns that are current. This looks like it might be bigger than a size 146, but it's such a simple pattern! I'm curious to see what other garments they will have in that section though! Next page>> |

Date: 11/4/09 2:15 PM Interesting contrast between how conservatively the boy is dressed, and how short the girl's hem is!

Date: 11/4/09 2:21 PM Yay! this looks like its going to be another good edition.
as for the paper bags, I think it could be a good idea. Dress the paper bags up by having kids draw on them in markers. Instant xmas wrapping paper with a personal touch. ------

I think what the girl is wearing is probably a tunic that could work as either a top or a dress. She looks pretty well-covered to me.

I see what you mean, but it may also be that Burda is just being realistic about pre-teens -- a lot of pre-teens and younger teens are pretty self-conscious about wearing anything other than brand-name, store-bought clothing. My very unmaterialistic, non-fashionista son went through a period at around junior high age where he cared quite a bit about clothing brands. I don't know what he would have said if I had offered to sew some of his clothes -- probably, "Um, don't bother..."

Date: 11/4/09 2:51 PM It's true that kids that age are very picky and they want to wear the same things their friends wear. Every once in a while though, my pre-teen daughter sees a pattern (lately it's been Simplicity Project Runway patterns) that she's really excited about. She choses the fabric and trim and it becomes a fun mother-daughter project. I just wish this would happen with Burda magazine patterns because I trust them more for fit and the magazine is something I buy anyway and it's nice to have patterns that are available right at home. My 7 year old loves to flip through them to find patterns she would like me to make for her.

That was EXACTLY what I thought too! How macabre!
Glad to see some "tween" fashion for my big girl. And a pattern for a nice comfy looking robe too. I might make that. Next page>> |
